1609. Day of fishing for sea cucumbers
Qin Shiou mainly raises two kinds of sea cucumbers here, white ginseng and arctic ginseng. The former grows quickly and has plump meat, but in terms of nutrition, arctic ginseng is better. The fishing age of wild arctic ginseng is generally more than ten years, and the average farmed sea cucumber is one year. It will be caught in two years, and the value of the two is naturally huge.
These sea cucumbers were planted in the second year after he came to the fishing ground. During this period, he continued to input Poseidon energy. Both white ginseng and arctic ginseng were growing well. However, Qin Shiou led the team this time mainly to fish for white ginseng. It lasts a year.
Of course, if you encounter Arctic ginseng that grows fat enough, you have to catch it. Anyway, as long as it grows to the limit, it will not grow much if it is cultured.
The seawater temperature in Newfoundland fisheries is not suitable for breeding sea cucumbers and abalone. Common sea cucumbers will stop hunting and hibernate when the temperature is below 56 degrees Celsius. They are very delicate. They will aestivate when the temperature is high and hibernate when the temperature is low. During this period, they will not grow. , and not suitable for fishing.
After Shaq issued the order to catch sea cucumbers, the fishermen began to get busy. Only senior fishermen could go into the sea to catch sea cucumbers. Geng Junjie and other more than 20 subsequent fishermen were responsible for the logistics, and they could not go into the sea.
Fishing sea cucumbers is hard work. During the fishing season, you have to stay underwater for about ten hours a day. Long-term water pressure and immersion can cause fishermen to suffer from various joint diseases and lung diseases.
However, income is directly proportional to effort. A sea cucumber fishing season usually lasts one to two months. In such a short period of time, fishermen can harvest between 50,000 and 80,000 Canadian dollars, which is higher than the annual income of ordinary white-collar workers.
¡°However, there are still few people willing to go into the water to catch sea cucumbers, and young people cannot bear this crime.
Shaq put on a diving suit. This was a heavy diving suit. It was like an iron can with a person hiding inside. There was an oxygen pipe connecting the diving suit to the oxygen concentrator on the ship. There was also an iron pendant on the diving suit to hold the person in. Falling to the bottom of the sea.
Wearing a diving suit, he lamented: "There are fewer and fewer people willing to catch sea cucumbers now, and there are even fewer excellent fishermen. When my father was young, he could catch more than two thousand pounds of sea cucumbers a day, but we can't do that now." , if you can catch a thousand pounds in a day, that¡¯s a big deal.¡±
Qin Shiou had to take the lead in participating. He also put on the heavy diving suit and said with a smile: "That's not bad. One thousand pounds a day, and the income is two thousand Canadian dollars. That's 60,000 yuan a month."
Although the fishery employs fishermen, when doing a lot of work, it has to give additional rewards to the fishermen. For example, when fishing for bluefin tuna, the fishermen who catch it will receive dividends; for example, when fishing for sea cucumbers, the fishermen will also receive dividends, which is basically one pound. It's a little over a Canadian dollar.
Qin Shiou treats his senior fishermen more sincerely, and his salary is doubled. The fishermen can get two Canadian dollars, which is much better than working outside.
Sea cucumbers are only expensive when they are dried, but the high-quality sea cucumbers produced by Daqin Fishing Farm, even ready-to-eat fresh sea cucumbers, are very expensive. One pound of plump and plump sea cucumbers can be sold for more than one hundred dollars, so he is willing to pay more dividends to the fishermen. .
Geng Junjie and others looked at the senior fisherman with envy. Someone asked if they could follow him into the water to see them. They can endure hardship and go abroad just to make money, so they don¡¯t want to miss this opportunity to make money.
Qin Shiou shook his head and said: "There will be a batch of sea cucumbers produced in winter. Let's do it next time. This time, you should watch carefully how to do it. I usually practice diving. This is not for fun. Guys, this is very dangerous!"
There are almost two harvesting seasons for sea cucumbers in a year. Spring is in April and May. The water temperature in Canada is relatively low. May is the peak season for sea cucumber harvesting. It can also be harvested in June. Harvesting sea cucumbers in autumn is generally from the end of October to mid-December.
There are two fishermen on a fishing boat. They work together to take charge of a sea area. This is to prevent multiple people from going to the sea at the same time and causing the oxygen hose to become entangled. Qin Shiou and Niu are on a ship. After arriving at the selected sea area, the system on the ship The oxygen machine started working, and they were ready to go into the water.
The bull moved his joints to warm up his body. He said: "Boss, how about this place we chose? I plan to earn four thousand yuan today. Yes, I want to go down and catch two thousand pounds of sea cucumbers!"
Qin Shiou looked around and said, "According to the Qi-gazing technique of the Five Elements Searching for Dragons, we have sea cucumbers down there, and we can catch them as much as we want later."
The habitats of sea cucumbers are distributed regularly. Because the Newfoundland fishery is very cold in winter, they will gather in the warm currents under the sea. The fishermen know how many warm currents there are in the fishery and how wide their distribution range is.
In addition, sea cucumbers like to cling to rocks or corals to survive, so as long as these conditions are combined and screened, it is easy to find sea cucumber gathering places.?
Hanging the sea cucumber fishing net bag on their waists, Qin Shiou and Niu bit on the oxygen tube and put on helmet-like masks. After giving each other a thumbs up, they sat on the edge of the boat with their backs to the sea, and suddenly fell into the sea.
As they sank, the oxygen tubes on the boat snaked down like small snakes. There was also a fisherman on the boat who was responsible for the logistics. When he saw that the oxygen tubes might get knotted, he would quickly open them to ensure that oxygen could enter smoothly. In the mouth of an underwater worker.
The seabed Qin Shiou chose was on the southern edge of the coral reef. There was a warm current passing by. The sea cucumbers here were not only large in number but also very fat. Normally, sea cucumbers take at least three years to be processed into dried products. They need to be very large. OK.
The bottom of the sea is clean sand, and some colorful parrotfish are moving in and out of the coral. Their small mouths are constantly squirming, and sand is excreted from their bodies.
This is why Qin Shiou breeds parrotfish in large numbers. They can turn dead coral reefs into fine sea sand.
After entering the water, the bull looked at the dreamlike coral reef and became a little obsessed for a moment. Instead of directly fishing for sea cucumbers, he walked along the edge of the coral reef and stretched out his hand to touch the coral reef from time to time.
There were some sea cucumbers where Qin Shiou landed, but he took a look and found that they were mainly arctic cucumbers, which were a bit small and there was no need to catch them.
Small sea cucumbers are hard to catch because they are not only small in size, but also because their flesh is loose at this time and cannot be processed into dried sea cucumbers. If you insist on selling them, you can only process them into ready-to-eat sea cucumbers. Not only is this kind of ready-to-eat sea cucumber not nutritious, but its taste is also not ideal, and no one on the market is willing to buy it.
Released the Poseidon consciousness and wandered around, Qin Shiou immediately found a large group of sea cucumbers. After he swam over and took a closer look, he first saw a fat sea cucumber with a snow-white appearance.
Although the name of the white sea cucumber contains "white", in fact, their body color has nothing to do with white. This white sea cucumber is an individual that has mutated in its natural state, an albino sea cucumber.
This white sea cucumber was particularly plump. Qin Shiou stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the nearby bull saw it and waved vigorously to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
